Chapter 922: Triumphant Return to the City

The power of the second ancient jade Xu Yang threw seemed even greater than the first. This was because the ancient jade itself contained the immortal power from the Great Priest Prince.

Under the ancient jade's lustrous glow, the power formation of one of the Five Forbidden Zones' strongest curses, which had just been jointly created by the Four Ancestral Shamans, rapidly diminished in a very short time and eventually vanished completely. The connection to the terrifying light above the clouds completely dispersed!

Xu Yang waved his hand in the air, recalling the second ancient jade to his palm. Then he leaped into the air, and the Jade Bone Divine Sword reappeared in his hand. His incredibly powerful sword techniques displayed unparalleled might; in just an instant, countless sword lights descended simultaneously from the void. This delivered an overwhelmingly powerful suppressive and lethal effect to those before him.

“Hahaha, they call themselves the Four Ancestral Shamans, but in the end, they can't even stand up to a single toe of our boss Ah Yang. These people are truly ridiculous!”

Behind Xu Yang, a large group of cheerleaders still stood. They spoke one after another, truly belittling the thousands of years of civilization of the Five Forbidden Zones, rendering it worthless. Actually, it was no wonder the Alliance Army powerhouses mocked them; the strength of these Four Ancestral Shamans simply couldn't compare to the ancestral shamans who had remained guarding the altars in the Five Forbidden Zones previously. Their greater strength lay in their ability to jointly cast curses; their individual combat prowess seemed significantly weaker than the ancestral shamans who had remained at the main base. Even combined, the four of them couldn't stop the rampant assault of Xu Yang's Jade Bone Divine Sword.

“Oh heavens, a demon! This guy is practically a war demon! Such power is simply something we cannot contend with. Retreat quickly!”

Among the Four Ancestral Shamans, the leader abandoned the fight without hesitation. The only thought in his mind now was to leave this battlefield alive. However, from the moment he stepped onto this battlefield, that had become a luxurious hope he could never achieve.

Just as he turned and fled rapidly towards the edge of the battlefield, Xu Yang had already transformed into a streak of light, quickly closing in with the significant agility bonus provided by his saber-toothed tiger mount. Meanwhile, the scattered fleeing figures below, like pathetic ants, were desperately struggling just before death descended. Yet, Xu Yang looked down at these ancestral shamans and couldn't help but reveal a disdainful smile.

“Once upon a time, when your curse power influenced billions of beings in the Eastern Domain, perhaps you also held a similar posture to mine now. So now, on behalf of the Eastern Domain's beings, I will end this conflict with the same crushing posture.”

As Xu Yang finished speaking, he pointed his finger at the sky. In an instant, countless sword lights materialized from all directions around the void. Amplified by the power of the Moon Goddess, each sword light emitted a faint, silver-white glow. They locked onto the bodies of all the top-tier undead below! Among them, the four most powerful sword lights each targeted one of the Four Ancestral Shamans, who were frantically fleeing below.

“Kill!!”

Xu Yang wasted no more words, uttering a crisp, decisive single word. In the void, countless sword lights descended simultaneously, giving these individuals no chance to resist whatsoever. In a flash, all life forms targeted by the sword lights met their demise.

“No!”

The Four Ancestral Shamans finally let out a painful shriek. Xu Yang did not use overly powerful force to instantly obliterate them, but instead allowed them to thoroughly experience the agony of having every bit of their flesh and blood pierced by sword energy. Over a dozen sword lights successively sliced through the limbs and flesh of the Four Ancestral Shamans again and again. Only at the very last moment did they finally pierce their hearts, completely ending their lives.

With the premature demise of the Four Ancestral Shamans and the Yinsha Demonic Lord, there was no longer any suspense in this battle. All that remained was a one-sided slaughter.

The Purple Flame Undead were completely annihilated in this battle because Xu Yang had already wiped out the headquarters of the Five Forbidden Zones beforehand. Aside from the civilized achievements that could be taken from within, Xu Yang had also completely transformed the Five Forbidden Zones' foundational lineage and bases into ruins with his supreme divine power. Combined with the laws of the earth, he directly buried the entire main base of the Five Forbidden Zones. This way, the original energy system that supported the revival of these Purple Flame Undead was also completely destroyed by Xu Yang. This meant the Five Forbidden Zones no longer had any ability to restore the scene of widespread curses.

“Victory! We truly won!”

Across the entire battlefield, hundreds of thousands of Alliance Army soldiers cheered hysterically. This sound reverberated throughout the Eastern Domain. Under Xu Yang's personal leadership, the Eastern Domain had seen its first large-scale resistance struggle in history, which culminated in a glorious victory. Undoubtedly, this epic achievement, accomplished by Xu Yang personally leading the Sacred Fire Divine Sect and the Alliance Army soldiers, was destined to leave a profound mark on the history of the entire Yingzhou Continent.

The city gates opened wide. Xu Yang led hundreds of thousands of troops back to the Alliance's main city. Millions of citizens lined the streets within the city, cheering, everyone together shouting Ah Yang's name. The saber-toothed tiger occasionally let out a majestic roar, seemingly enjoying such revered treatment. It was clear that this creature had become exceptionally excited since joining Xu Yang. He had never dreamed that this new master, whom he had encountered by chance, would bring him such immense glory and allow him to experience unprecedented joy in the mortal world.

“I can’t believe that after such a short time following you, I'm already basking in your glory. Now I seem like a hero in their eyes, and it’s all thanks to you!” The saber-toothed tiger enjoyed the respectful gazes of the city's millions of inhabitants, and couldn't help but transmit a telepathic message to its master, Xu Yang.

Xu Yang chuckled softly and patted its head in satisfaction. “You deserve all of this. If it weren't for you, the Alliance Army would have suffered heavy losses when Karl first unleashed the curse power. You played a unique role and deserve everything you have today.”

Upon returning to the Alliance's main city, Xu Yang entrusted all the tasks related to recognizing achievements and awarding merits to Lingyao and the Five Heavenly Kings. After all, Xu Yang was not adept at or interested in such trivial matters. One urgent problem he needed to solve was to release the Winter Goddess, Big Dog, and Yunxiao, who were sealed within his body, and use the power of the ancient jade to lift the residual curses on them. In a short while, Xu Yang completed his task, releasing these milky-white independent spaces one by one.
